Qianfeng Daoism: Enter the Dragon! (9.2.2024)

09/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Considering how important the concept of the ‘Dragon’ is throughout Chinese culture – I was surprised just how haphazard the construction of its representing ideogram actually is. As this is my area of academic expertise, I could not believe what I was looking at! Consequently, it took me three-days to disentangle the mess that this ideogram seems to have gotten itself into. Having achieved this objective – I then unloaded the finished article onto the Qianfeng Daoist website I help to administer.

Many Businesses and Institution Are Facilitating Chinese Rioters in UK!

How Sutton United Football Club is Assisting Hong Kong Riotors “Adjust” To a Privileged Life in the UK! (8.2.2024)

08/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

We join with the hundreds of thousands of free-thinking Chinese people in the UK (and throughout the world) that do not believe in Christianity, reject the Falun Gong Cult, reject the Pro-Tibetan Cult and are loyal to the UK, whilst accepting that the Chinese people in the PRC possess an absolute Right to pursue the ‘Socialist’ Path that over one-billion people have chosen! We support the right of the PRC to self-determinate – whilst fully rejecting any and all attempts of US and UK Neo-Imperialism to subject the minds and bodies of ethnic Chinese people to persecution, oppression and total indignity! The fan-base of Sutton Unite Football Club should understand how the Owners of the Club are misusing the Stadium their money pays for! Below is an email exchange between myself and a Representative of Sutton United and the so-called ‘Hong Kong Christian Church’ – make of it what you will – but always think for yourself!

The traditional Year in China actually stands at “4722” at the moment since the passing of the Yellow Emperor – who is believed to have ruled Central China for at least one-hundred years! The Yellow Emperor invented medicine, clothing, housing, medicine, philosophy and hunting, etc, including divination and acting in accordance with the “Way” (Dao) of nature.

Karate Kid Movie [1984] Blu-Ray – “Mr Miyagi” Reconsidered! (14.1.2024)

14/01/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The authors of the film ‘Karate Kid’ (1984) had a paradox to overcome. On the one hand they wanted a traditional ‘Okinawan’ Karate-Do master – who at the same time had NOTHING to do with Okinawa either before or during WWII! This entire idea is racist and disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Okinawan men, women and children who died being trapped between the Imperial Japanese Army and the invading US Marines – and those who died fighting the Americans or were murdered by US troops after surrender. Of course, many thousands of Okinawan women and girls were raped by US troops once captured. Although Mr Miyagi had to represent everything ‘martial’ that defines Okinawan history – including its stand against the invading US Forces – he also had to be completely ‘detached’ from everything ethnically ‘Okinawan’ so as not to disturb the Eurocentric sensitivities of the average US audience!
